Goals in Review. Again.

It's almost time. I have no idea what my 2009 goals will be. None. All I know is that I haven't done enough to satisfy my 2008 Goals yet. And I only have 20 days left.

So let's take another look. It's been a month since the last look. It colud not have possibly changed much in that month since all I've been doing is TRAVELING LIKE A MANIAC and NOT HAVING A LIFE! GAH!

1. Be consistent. Aim for 8 to 10 workouts a week - NOT HAPPENING. I will call this one DONE and Not Accomplished. Terrific. No way I can catch up in 20 days.
   
2. Ride 2000 miles - Right. Not accomplished. No way I can catch up in 20 days.


3. Run 1000 miles - Not accomplished. This is not looking so good. No way I can catch up in 20 days.
   
4. Swim 3500 laps or 175,000 yards - NOT. No way I can catch up in 20 days.


5. Sign up for and complete a century - I signed up for one. I did not do it. Something came up. Always. Ditto on the 20 days.


6. Sign up for and complete a duathlon - Whoa! I did this one. And I got third in age group. At least it's something.


7. Read 6 books - think I did that. I am sire I did it. I didn't keep track of all the titles. I'll do better next year.


8. Learn 50 chinese phrases and their opposites - This was a resounding success. I know more than 50 phrases. I am not sure about the opposites but I made that up by learning more words. I know a lot of words that I can now put together into strings of words that more or less have some sort of intelligible meaning. And I also know how to WRITE! This was a good goal.


9. Lose 5 pounds and keep it off by working out and journaling what I eat - Another resounding success! I got a trainer, can deadlist more than 160 pounds and have lost about 12 poundns - although it does go up and down by a pound or two...


10. Run a marathon in a new state - Not yet. I'll make up for it next year.


11. Go to 12 new restaurants:
    
    1. Rani Bistro, Hyderibadi (Indian)
    2. Blue Ocean (Korean)
    3. The Bob (American Grill)
    4. Smith &W Wollenski's (Steak)
    5. McSeagulls
    6. The Lobster Dock
    7. The Lobster Shack (in Maine)
    8. Genji Ya, (Japanese)
    9. BT Southern BBQ (ok. I didn't GO there, but they came to me and I am counting it)
    10. Little Anthony's Seafood Emporium (Seafood, in Winchendon)
    11. Pedrin's Dairy Bar (fast food in Adams)
    12. Kaler's Crab and Lobster House
    
    Okay. There were other but these are the ones off the top of my head. Glad to see that goals centered around eating are getting high marks.
    
12. Take no more than 24 rest days except for injury and sickness. This includes traveling for work or pleasure. (This goal can be replaced.) -
    
    I should have replaced it. Between being sick, worked, tired and injured, I now have a total of 63 days where I did nothing. At least I have one goal that I can improve upon next year.

Alllllrighteeeeeee then. That about does it for the year. 4 out of 12. Not too good. Hmmm...

It's time to come up with 12 more.
I might try to make them realistic this time around.
